Product details:
Phospho-Flt3 / CD135 (Y589) ELISA Kit (ab279799) is a very rapid, convenient, and sensitive assay kit that can monitor the activation or function of important biological pathways in human cell lysates. By determining phosphorylated FLT3 / CD135 protein in your experimental model system, you can verify pathway activation in your cell lysates. You can simultaneously measure numerous different cell lysates without spending excess time and effort in performing a Western Blotting analysis.
This Sandwich ELISA kit is an
in vitro
enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the measurement of human and mouse phospho-FLT3 / CD135. An anti-pan Flt3 / CD135 antibody has been coated onto a 96-well plate. Samples are pipetted into the wells and Flt3 / CD135 present in a sample is bound to the wells by the immobilized antibody. The wells are washed and rabbit anti-phospho-FLT3 / CD135 (Y589) antibody is used to detect phosphorylated Flt3 / CD135. After washing away unbound antibody, HRP conjugated anti-rabbit IgG is pipetted into the wells. The wells are again washed, a TMB substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of Flt3 / CD135 (Y589) bound. The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow, and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm.

Flt3 also known as CD135 or FLT3 tyrosine kinase is a receptor tyrosine kinase that belongs to the class III receptor tyrosine kinase family. It has a molecular weight of approximately 160 kDa. This protein plays an important role in the development of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. Flt3 is expressed mainly in early progenitor cells within the bone marrow. Additionally it is present in some populations of mature cells in the peripheral blood and lymphoid organs.
Biological function summary
Flt3 functions as a receptor that is activated by binding to its ligand FLT3 ligand (FLT3L). This interaction stimulates the associated tyrosine kinase activity leading to auto-phosphorylation of Flt3 and subsequent downstream signaling. Flt3 does not form a heterocomplex rather it dimerizes upon ligand binding to initiate signaling cascades. These cascades promote cell proliferation differentiation and survival particularly impacting hematopoiesis and immune responses.
Pathways
Flt3 signaling impacts the internal signaling networks involving the MAPK/ERK and PI3K/AKT pathways both central to cell cycle regulation and apoptosis. Flt3 interacts functionally with proteins such as SHP2 and GRB2 in these pathways aiding signal transduction. The Flt3 receptor also shares functional motifs with KIT and PDGF receptors indicating shared regulatory mechanisms involved in cellular proliferation.
Flt3 mutations especially internal tandem duplications in Flt3/ITD are significant in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) leading to abnormal cell growth and survival. These mutations often co-occur with other genetic anomalies such as NPM1 mutations contributing to the oncogenic process. The abnormal activation of Flt3 kinase activity also has ramifications in myelodysplastic syndromes making it a target for therapeutic intervention with drugs such as anti-FLT3 inhibitors in the treatment regime.
